Former City analyst eyes £100m specialist retail fund

Matt Truman, the former renowned City of London analyst who has covered the retail sector over the past decade, will on Monday formally launch True Capital, an investment vehicle planning to allocate as much as £100m for businesses able to create niche positions in the industry.

Apart from backing luxury goods companies and up-and-coming brands, the vehicle is likely to target online retailers, as well as start-ups developing and producing technology for the retail supply chain.

The fund, which is regulated by the Financial Services Authority, plans to make equity investments in the range of up to £15m in both closely held and public companies.
